[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the deal: MWES and OES are, wait for it, 1.9 miles apart from each other. The proposed site for Blake Lane ES would put 3 schools in a 1.9 mile radius. Now, the FCPSSB and facilities team make mistakes, but this is just plain, across the board stupidity. I think the incredible level of stupidity was at the BOS level since they seem to be the ones who gave the property in question back to FCPS. I mean if we are akways running low on funds, why not sell to a developer to build low density housing - SFHs or similar to the TH community on Blake Lane? Or just give it to the county parks and recs? I don’t foresee this school actually being built. Taxpayers in the outskirts - that now go to overcrowded McNaur, for example, are going to fight this. To have 3 ES less than 2 miles was an oversight. And the traffic to metro and OHS are already bad! [/quote] The new school to relieve the overcrowding at McNair is already largely funded. Residents of those neighborhoods, therefore, have no reason to weigh in on whether the Blake Lane school is a good idea. Three elementary schools that close to one another seems unfortunate, but sometimes FCPS has to work with the sites that are available. [/quote] Bad answer. Really, that’s the best you can do. So, sorry you’re a vegetarian, we are offering pork, only. Come on! They made a shortsighted mistake, and thankfully it’s only on paper. Enough of the county akways focusing in in the one area of the county. MWES, OES, OHS are all fine. No more! Start spending on the ‘less desirable’ parts of the county! Enough! Herndon is skyrocketing in population, we need more school! Build one on the other side of town, for once! [/quote]
